Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    The undisputed king of the cornball concept, Kevin Costner has an uncanny aptitude for gravitating toward the dopiest projects in sight, but this time he's outdone himself.

  • Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

    More dull than offensive, Dragonfly keeps Costner on screen for nearly every scene, which pretty much compounds the movie's boredom quotient.

  • Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

    A sappy, often absurd disappointment.

  • Rex Reed, New York Observer

    A numbingly pretentious project.

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    Chances are good that if you loved Ghost or Truly Madly Deeply, you'll at the very least like this fitfully affecting tale of love beyond death and faith beyond reason.

    I have really had it up to HERE with jump scares. My days of being impressed by loud sudden sounds are over, as is my capacity to appreciate this film. Dragonfly comes too close on the heels of The Mothman Prophecies to be considered novel, and too badly handles to be very… More

    Dragonfly was a very unique film with Kevin Costner. Kevin plays a husband whom looses his wive in a foregin land. Costner starts to get messages from his dead wife and starts to have many odd experiences. This is a very interesting film to check out.
